Some people think that America's best days are behind us. I don't believe that. What we did was start the dominoes falling and we've been spinning our wheels trying to get them stopped. The outsourcing of manufacturing and legislation like NAFTA sent us into a down-spiral. At the same time, our economy became global, and the third world is becoming of age. The only way to get our arms around the issues once again is to stop being mostly an importer and get back to exporting. There needs to be further incentives to get businesses to stop outsourcing jobs. At home, the absolutely best action we (as a country) can take is to stop buying imported products. If they don't sell, then we will stop importing them. If the American made products begin to sell better and better, then more of them will be made. Take pride in your countries products. Set an example for the rest of the world.

Naturally he got very angry, but as he turned around he found a note on his pillow saying: "Wake up, it's 6 o'clock !!!"
